How to Protect Yourself from the Tricks and Traps of Real Estate. Buying or selling a house? Who can you trust? Every year thousands of people throughout Australia buy or sell a home. For most it is the biggest and single most important financial decision they will make.

In the majority of cases, that belief is misplaced and rip-offs will bilk the consumer of thousands of dollars. In this new book, Neil Jenman sets out clearly and unequivocally, the trickery and deception that is rife - indeed, universal practice - throughout the real estate industry. It is an extraordinary litany of outrageous behaviour, intimidation through bullying and manipulation, and dubious business practices. His advice is always don't sign anything without understanding what is involved or without a guarantee that you are protected. Chapter by Chapter, the book uncovers the traps that every consumer should be aware of and shows how they can protect themselves from unscrupulous agents and unethical practices. Starting with the quote lie, Neil Jenman outlines how the seller is progressively played like a fish on a line: there's the advertising rort, the dummy bidding fraud, insider trading robbery, auction tricks and the inspection charade. On the other hand, buyers often lose out on the house they really want through incompetence or worse, and investors get caught in scams and in get-rich-quick real estate seminars. Numerous true examples illustrate vividly the unhappy and costly experiences of so many. The book includes:- How to discover the value of your home- Protecting yourself and the value of your house from activity marketing- How auctions really work- How to sell and buy without agents- Investment traps- 16 safety requirements give the consumer control when buying or selling real estate 'Don't Sign Anything' should, in fact, must be required reading for every real estate consumer before taking one step in the buying or selling procedure.

Most salespeople lose the deal before they ever get started! It isn't uncommon for the customer to have already made a decision before most salespeople even learn of the opportunity. Most salespeople have to beat the preferred competitor by a significant margin just to be considered equivalent. Don't you wish that you could be the preferred vendor in all of your opportunities? Selling is a difficult career in which to make a living; it is not uncommon to have the commission check denied before the salesperson even gets a chance to win. Analysis of thousands of sales situations has made it phenomenally obvious that most salespeople begin their sales campaign so late in the decision-making process that they are virtually guaranteed to lose the order. To make matters worse, when they do start the campaign early enough, most salespeople do not know how to control the prospect adequately so that they can guarantee their victory. Typical turnover for a sales department is 10-20%. Many companies see turnover that approaches 40-60%! This turnover costs them 50% of their revenue-generating capability. In any organization that exceeds 25% turnover, the loss of trust with the customer can be astounding as the new salesperson tries to rebuild the entire relationship. In any given quarter dozens or hundreds of companies do not make their forecasted numbers and are dramatically punished by Wall Street. This book will provide the management of a company with a framework to teach their salespeople how to attain their quotas with higher profits. It will also allow salespeople to rise to the top of their organization and be the super-achievers who win awards, trips, bonuses, and respect. In this book, I will show you how to eliminate your competition and maximize your commission.
